However there is one big downside to this. Once we tell gcc to use winpthreads (or better said: the configure flag --enable-threads=posix) it will cause all binaries which are built using this compiler to automatically depend on the winpthreads shared library (DLL). Even when you build a simple 'hello world' you'll also need to redistribute the winpthreads DLL along with your program to be able to execute it.
Is there a runtime switch to gcc that tells it not to link in winpthreads? It seems kind of silly to have to link to a threading library when you aren't using threads.
